Shareholders who represent 10% or at least a nominal CHF 2 million of the share capital can request a special audit from the general meeting of shareholders or a judge if there is a conflict between the shareholder’s right to information and the company limited by shares’ right to confidentiality.

Pay equity audits

Since the revision of the Gender Equality Act came into force on July 1, 2020,  all organizations in Switzerland employing 100 or more employees at the beginning of the year (excluding apprentices) are now required to conduct an internal company equal pay analysis based on gender.

The result of the analysis must be externally verified by a licensed auditing company, an employee representation committee, or a women’s organization. The verification must be performed within one year after the equal pay analysis is conducted but no later than the end of June 2022.

Consultancy services, support, and verification during exercises of due diligence

We advise and support you with transactions involving companies or real estate whether you are the purchaser or seller. We also coordinate the use of various specialists for exercises of due diligence (careful verification and analysis of a company) and verify and analyze strengths and weaknesses of properties. An exercise of due diligence makes it possible to discover and evaluate risks and opportunities. We create market analyses, look at annual financial statements, speak with employees and management, or verify whether there is possible environmental pollution. The purchase price of a property can be more realistically estimated based on our analysis.
